China warned of more rainstorms across the country, urging people to prepare for potential landslides as a prolonged bout of severe weather threatens travel and agriculture.
The country on Saturday issued a red alert for rainstorms, the most severe in its four-tier weather warning system, Xinhua News Agency reported. It cited the National Meteorological Center, which warned about possible geological disasters occurring in some rain-hit regions, including Anhui, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and Guizhou provinces.
